Naomi,

I am sorry that everything seems to be happening to you at the same time. Having been through similar circumstances I know how difficult it can be to even get out of bed.

Please eat (even if it tastes like sawdust), because if you get ill there will be no one to take care of your guys

I am not sure where you are seeing your counsellor through, but some places have a "sliding scale" for payments based upon what you earn. The other option is to be referred to a psychiatrist rather than a counsellor. That way your BC health plan will provide coverage for the psychiatrist...

I am truely sorry that you and Bassett are going through such a rough time. Perhaps she is reacting to your stress. But please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your gang.
